It's Official

I'm now a Senior Editor at A Voice for Men.

I've become one of those "Crusaders!"  I've never been politically active; how the hell did that happen???  Two and a half years ago I started reading blogs for research.  The plan was to maybe write a novel, a project to occupy my mind through the transition into my newly "empty nest."  I started out in the Cop/Military/2nd Amendment community, because I wanted a better grasp of how men think, and I kept bumping into the "men's" community; that darn Cappy Cap kept linking to interesting articles written by interesting men!  I then spent months immersed in relationship discussions at Dalrock's place, and his articles are still at the top of my "to read" list, although I no longer spend as much time in the comments section.  I now have at least a dozen books about men's issues, and I donate money to a handful of "Manosphere" sites:

...even when I disagree with the authors and/or the commenters.  These are voices that I believe should be heard.

I think my primary focus at AVfM is going to be "outreach" (Why not?  That's what I did as a bookmobile driver, and I guess I'm pretty good at it) in the form of email campaigns.  Not only will I be calling, faxing and emailing "government officials" and the press regarding individual cases, I will be emailing ordinary citizens to inform them of misandric corruption in their own communities.  And of course I'm going to gather my courage and start doing some "poster runs" - there are a LOT of college campuses (and other community bulletin boards) within a couple of hours' drive!  Unfortunately I will probably have even less time for my personal blog, but I'm still reading the 200+ sites I follow!

p.s.  If you would consider volunteering to do some very tedious work on a few email campaigns, please speak up!

Fund Drive, Man Boobz Style

The fucker is simply shameless.

Translation:
"Once again, I'm going to trigger your PTSD, guide you gently to your fainting couch, pat your wrists and dab your forehead with a damp hanky, all the while cooing in commiseration about those dreadful men who do awful things like triggering your PTSD.  Give me money.

"By Tuesday night, the list was taken down and replaced by an explanation and an apology. But it was too late."

(Don't they just hate it when they get called out on their bullshit?)



From a self-defense perspective, I like EBM's recommendation:

"I humbly submit a better idea: Make the rapist piss his 
pants."

'Cuz hey, even an Empowered Grrrl needs to be judicious about whom she shoots (usually. Yeah I'm looking at you, Jodi) as opposed to whom she falsely accuses.  If campuses were as full of dead guys as they are of falsely accused guys, a few eyebrows might be raised.  Might be.

Great vid, I don’t see how you could possibly lose subscribers? What you’re saying is basically MGTOW, but you’re constructing a healthy behavior to integrate into MGTOW philosophy so that’s great. I deconstructed and refused many of society’s unhealthy expectations of me back in my early 20s and as soon as a guy is able to freely and independently conceptualize his own “manhood,” everything changes.

You become immune to girls unreasonable expectations, and, amazingly, they respect you more for it. You become immune to another guy trying to “cut in,” it just isn’t a threat to you anymore, she can make her own choices, and they aren’t connected to your own personal value. The way you value yourself changes. You can easily reject a great deal of social pressures, you recognize that earning power was never a metric for valuing yourself, but rather for demonstrating your utility. You recognize that going bald was never a threat to your own independent being, it was only ever terrifying because of an assumed corresponding decrease in status to females. You recognize that the bum on the street isn’t someone you out competed, he’s a living being who probably has alot of pain in his life. You recognize you really don’t need sex to be complete and you stop chasing it. You recognize alot of things when you start setting aside all the bullshit.

Where MGTOW reaches its limitation and where MHRA becomes important is where the current legal system curbs your ability to explore your humanity independently. If you accidentally get a girl pregnant, she owns your life. This makes relationships very difficult, because if you want to be equally valuable in a relationship with a woman you respect and are attracted to, you soon realize it is simply not possible. You recognize you are potentially surrendering your autonomy and life to her each time you have sex, which is not a healthy expression of sexuality, but a psychotic trauma. Marriage is a poor decision, but really even just living together can be a risky proposition now. If you’re accused of something by a woman in this culture you’re in big trouble. Not saying all or even most accusations are false, but it’s something I’m keenly aware of as a man."

This is a man with his head on straight.
